As delivered by a Servitor of:

#1: As delivered by a Servitor
of Lust (Andrealphus)

(probably a Balseraph: "Everyone lies about sex"):

Choirs

Seraphim: Not as uninterested as Elohim, but no good
in bed.

Cherubim: Sort of like teddy bears -- only with teeth
and claws. Overly possessive. Not usually open to menage a' trois with their
fixations -- and don't even think of making a pass at the fixation before
you've distracted the Cherub.

Ofanim: Bad points - have to hit them over the head
with a proposition to get them to notice; Good points - never stop moving.

Elohim: Cold fish, no interest. Some of their vessels
aren't even fully functional -- think Barbie and Ken, only less personality.

Malakim: Very hard to get along with; equate sex and
violence, and usually don't need much of the first if they can get the second.
Good for a thrill, but long-term, aren't worth it.

Kyriotates: Really kinky. You can supply the dogs. Or
swans. Or whatever. A fun way to have an orgy with only one other person...

Mercurians: Might as well be humans, except better stamina.

Servitors of...

Blandine: They think beds are for sleeping in. Boring.

Christopher: Personally, I say child molestation is
a waste of time -- they're too young to really understand what's being done
to them, and there's a good chance it'll make them grow up to *hate*
sex, which puts them out of our reach. Still, some of our team -- especially
Shedim -- practically swear by it. Use your own judgment. [Austin Loomis]

David: A hard celestial is good to find... And the humans
around them tend to come in groups. Can be a challenge.

Dominic: Stuffed shirts, and it's hard to get a trio
of them to agree on anything. They tend to vote. Avoid; they'd rather talk
-- and ask questions-- about your past angelic conquests anyway, the voyeurs.

Eli: Can be really fun (even the usually pathetic Choirs),
till they find out who you're working for. Then they get all huffy, like
they invented sex or something.

Gabriel: Fanatics. Will get on your case if you're not
careful. Pretty hot in bed, but you have to catch them when they're not
distracted.

Janus: Here today, gone tomorrow. Often fun, till you
realize that you just can't make an *impression* with these
people! Will also pick your pockets, so don't wear anything.

Jean: Kyrios are fun, but can't always stay in the garden
hose long enough. Rest of them are less dull than you might think -- remember,
they get Usenet access.

Jordi: Kink factor is high, but you rarely stumble across
one; they're easier to turn on if you've got an animal vessel too.

Laurence: Stuffed shirts again. Serious "may we
help you" hero complexes. Fun to play with, but don't let them catch
on till after you're dressed again and out the door. They hold grudges.

Litheroy: They say they're all for exposure -- then,
when you greet them wearing nothing but a smile, they get all huffy and
tell the world you're really a demon. And some of 'em can *make*
people believe it too! Not worth the risk. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Can be persuaded to make deals, but would rather
fondle money.

Michael: Despite what you might think, not vunerable
to camp followers. Tend to be tricky; don't *need* to hold
grudges. Avoid.

Novalis: Sappy lot; explain that you just need some
kindness and understanding, and they try to mother you. Then they give you
these puppy eyes when you don't go Renegade for them. At least they don't
have starched undies.

Yves: A bunch of weirdos. Tend to be a little too perceptive.
No illusions, just mysticism. Not worth the risk.

#2: As delivered by a Servitor of
the Game (Asmodeus)

Choirs

Seraphim: Amusing abilities. Use their reactions as
a guide if they are dealing with a Suspect. Avoid dealing with them, as
their reactions towards you can be equally un-guarded.

Cherubim: Usually useless, but rarely dangerous to one's
cover.

Ofanim: Flighty, but easy to spot and avoid. Do not
engage in car chases with them. Their resonance is otherwise harmless.

Elohim: Less-useful than Seraphim, but their reactions
can still provide clues if they deal with a Suspect. Do not deal with them,
as they can also garner clues from you. Are the most likely to offer help
to a Suspect, unfortunately.

Malakim: Can be used as front-line troops to take care
of a Suspect, but will be equally-dangerous to you if they sense your nature.

Kyriotates: Annoying spies. Do not keep pets.

Mercurians: Practically useless most of the time, but
can sometimes be a threat to your cover, more than to that of the Suspect.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Unimportant.

Christopher: Seldom a danger to morale, but a pronounced
risk. Keep Servitors and children alike away from Suspects -- especially
from Suspects in juvenile vessels -- lest they become hopelessly tainted
by Enemy ideology. [Austin Loomis]

David: Nuisances.

Dominic: Can sometimes be persuaded that your goals
and theirs are aligned. Be wary; Servitors of Judgment often come in threes,
usually with a Seraph amongst them.

Eli: Gather information on their activities if it does
not interfere; Dominic's Servitors will be interested, and it makes good
bait.

Gabriel: Fanatics and unreasonable. Can sometimes be
used as general Malakim <see above>, but are usually not worth the
effort.

Janus: Do not deal with these Servitors. They are under
suspicion.

Jean & Jordi: Unimportant.

Laurence: Unreasonable. Best set upon a Suspect from
a distance.

Litheroy: As least as useful as Seraphim and Elohim
for uncovering Suspects, but be *very* wary, lest they
ruin your own cover. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Unimportant.

Michael: Unreasonable. Treat as for the Sword, but with
greater care, as the angelic Servitors of War are more cunning.

Novalis: An impediment. They will stand in your way
if the Suspect asks them for help. They are very unreasonable about this,
but you can usually deal with them if your first strike is powerful enough.
Do not hold back; after the first blow, they won't either.

Yves: Unimportant to unreasonable to impediment, depending
on the Suspect in question. Keep the Suspect from coming into contact with
these Servitors.

#3: As delivered by a Servitor of the
War (Baal)

Choirs

Ofanim: A nuisance to deal with -- they are frequently
good at avoiding getting hit.

Elohim: Celestial potential is high; corporeal is average
to low.

Malakim: Some specialize in corporeal or celestial combat.
Some do not. Occasionally worthwhile opponents.

Kyriotates: Often vicious but slow in celestial combat;
cowards in corporeal forms. They would rather stand back and use Songs.

Mercurians: Potential threats to demons, but damaging
mortals is bad for them. Use cannon-fodder.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Wimps, hardly worth the effort.

Christopher: Tactically insignificant. [Austin Loomis]

David: Stronger than many, and sometimes dangerous.
They tend to accumulate groups of humans.

Dominic: Unconcerned with external affairs, they can
sometimes be ignored for a time. (Though always watch your back with an
angel around.) If they are sniffing around someone, send a Lilim to see
if there is a potential convert to be salvaged.

Eli: His Malakim are worthy of respect, but otherwise
the Servitors of Creation should require little time.

Gabriel: Fanatics who react in fairly predictable ways.
Use this to your advantage; human bait works well.

Janus: Moving targets, but they never require a siege
to defeat.

Jean: Will only cause problems if you are encouraging
a demonically-inspired weapon. Are otherwise too wrapped up in their own
concerns to pose any real threat. Kyrios can be annoying if they get into
your equipment, but can rarely stay there long enough to be more than pests.

Jordi: Kick dogs. Carry a gun for the wolves.

Laurence: Idealistic and overworked. But take them down
*before* sneering.

Litheroy: Not combat-oriented, but they're the *perfect*
spies. Pity they're on the other side. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Civilians. Hardly worth the bother.

Michael: Formidiable most of the time, but do not "work
and play well in groups." Their disorganization and self-reliance make
them annoying, but ultimately only pests.

Novalis: Hit hard first, pick the splinters out afterwards.

Yves: Can be surprisingly hard targets. Take them out
when it's convenient to do so, but don't let them fester around the area.

#4: As delivered by a Servitor of
Nightmares (Beleth)

Choirs

Seraphim: Unimportant, save for those of Dream, who
are far too perceptive.

Cherubim: Distasteful creatures, who get in the way
far too often.

Ofanim: Space and distance, direction and motion are
all subject to different rules in the Marches. Learn the rules, and confound
the Wheels, losing them amid the dreamscapes.

Elohim: Even the highest of them may learn fear if given
long enough. Take the time; they do not deal with stress as well as they
think.

Malakim: They do not have the imagination to understand
true fear, and must be avoided. Those of Dream are quiet, skulking beasts.

Kyriotates: These must be rooted out like weeds, scattered
as they become in the Marches.

Mercurians: They love humanity, and this is their greatest
weakness. As with the Cherubim, they can be reached through this feeling,
and they rarely have the ability to cope with threats to their precious
mortals, unlike the Cherubim.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Deadly fools, one and all. Destroy them or
convince them to turn their coats; they are meddlesome creatures otherwise.

Christopher: A child is the ultimate toy. Servitors
of Lynoure, this is what the Word of Shadow Shapes is all about. [Austin Loomis]

David: No matter how many friends a human has, he dreams
alone; Stone is laughable.

Dominic: Unimportant, or even beneficial, as angels
fear one from their own side.

Eli: Scattered and unimportant.

Gabriel: Avoid these, for their eyes see much.

Janus: Unimportant, as they rarely stick around long
enough to form ties with mortals.

Jean: Unimportant.

Jordi: Animals may dream, but they are of little use
to us.

Laurence: Avoid, and these Servitors may be ignored
in our true work.

Litheroy: With a few words, these Servitors can undo
weeks of work. And unlike the Elohim, they're not reliably vulnerable to
fear. Above all, beware the Masters of Discovery, who can often trace you
back from a victim. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Failed business not only terrorizes mortals, but
is a thorn in the side of the servants of Trade. Laugh.

Michael: Loners, these may be harder to find and avoid.
Make the effort.

Novalis: They offer the bough of peace and trust, and
are amusing playthings.

Kyriotates: All you need to do is torch one of their
hosts, and they're out of action. Sometimes they get pragmatic enough to
scram just before the host goes up in smoke, though, and then you have to
watch out for the local wildlife -- or your flamethrower, if it was one
of Jean's. Vindictive little creeps.

Mercurians: Kindling.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Gotta find 'em to burn 'em.

Christopher: Nothin' like the fresh-faced innocence
of kids out playing with matches... [Austin Loomis]

David: Stone burns if you heat it long enough -- but
it also gets kinda upset and will try for you.

Dominic: If they're in the way, toast 'em. Azzie might
not like it, but he can't say you're not devoted!

Eli: The Malakim of Creation may try to take your toys
away. Jerks. Fry 'em quick.

Gabriel: *BURN*BURN*BURN*BURN*BURN ON SIGHT!!!
Show 'em what the Word of Fire *really* means!

Janus: More moving targets. Aim for their wheels first,
then pick 'em off when they try to hitch-hike.

Jean: Watch out for the Kyrios -- and the other ones!
Sometimes they can louse up your gear if you're close.

Jordi: Mmmmmm! Crispy Critters! Burning fur stinks,
though.

Laurence: Sword flambe' anyone? They'll put up a fight,
so be prepared.

Servitors of...

Dominic: Sometimes crunchy, sometimes chewy. Often comes
in three-packs. No sense of humor.

Eli: Some of them can turn water into wine! Marinate
well.

Gabriel: Already warmed up and ready to go, but will
try to burn your mouth.

Janus: More fast food.

Jean: Sometimes very crunchy. Don't let them get too
near a microwave.

Jordi: Mmmmmm, Animals!

Laurence: Work up an appetite, then use the sword as
a toothpick.

Litheroy: Surprising sometimes -- but then, who wants
the same thing every day anyway? [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Mmmmm, vending machines!

Michael: Tough and crunchy all the way through. And
stringy.

Novalis: Mmmmm, Salad!

Yves: No sense of humor. Chewy.

#7: As delivered by a Servitor of Dark
Humor (Kobal)

Choirs

Seraphim: Hard to find their funny-bone, but worth it
to watch the cracks. Good targets for sight-gags, though; they play "straight
man" so well!

Cherubim: Tough cases, really serious. Make them watch
their fixations do pratfalls. It's really funny if you can get *them*
to hit their fixation with a car or something.

Ofanim: The sort of guys who'll do road-runner impressions,
so don't use anything from Acme on them. They sometimes giggle.

Elohim: *Really* straight men. Maybe
it's dissonant for them to laugh? Crack a smile? Work on them, find out.
But be careful, since they may ignore what you're doing to try and slap
something unfunny on you.

Malakim: These guys have no sense of humor at all, but
if you can set them up as the target and carry it off, some of the other
Choirs may giggle. They take themselves too seriously. Run away fast, though,
'cause they'll hold a serious grudge -- just for one little joke!

Kyriotates: These guys think they can pull better tricks
than we can, usually by some varient of shellgame. Then they have the nerve
to snicker! (And what's worse, they're *hard* to snare...
Sometimes it's better to just avoid someone.)

Mercurians: Get them to hurt somebody. Watch the expression
on their face. Now *that's* funny!

Servitors of...

Blandine, David, Dominic:
Dull, dull, dull. No senses of humor. Dream'll freeze you out, Stone'll
throw rocks (tough audience!), and Judgment's only good for a target. Mind
you, Judgment's not so well-liked on their own side, so if you can get *them*...

Christopher: Still POed over the whole Children's Crusade
thing. Honestly, some folks just *can't* take a joke...
[Austin Loomis]

Eli: Clueless! Some of these people don't even *see*
what's funny about life, but they go around smiling anyway! Maybe you can
catch their Superior in something, though -- wouldn't *that*
make all those angels laugh!

Gabriel: Take themselves too seriously -- hard to affect,
except as targets. And they'll hunt you down if they can.

Janus: We could like these guys, except they remind
us of Valefor, and *he's* a real weird case. But it's really
funky to see them try to steal something and find out you've got a mousetrap
in your pocket. Steal (get it?) their thunder, let them take the blame.

Jean: He just doesn't understand how funny it would
be to crack into Heaven.Net and go play with the keyword search on DominicNet.
[in-joke relating to the list -- "heretical" postings were "caught"
by various people, using DominicNet as a nom-de-keyboard; later abandoned
as overused]

Jordi: Tell them the "What Does A 400 Pound Canary
Say" joke. Then drop an anvil on 'em. Haagenti's guys will help with
the anvil.

Laurence: These guys are just soooo uptight about their
honor. Manipulate them into an attack on their own side and just *watch*
those great expressions!

Litheroy: What these guys think is funny is blowing
*our* cover. They just don't get it. Avoid.

Marc: If you can sell them a bridge or land-deal, it's
*great*! But they're pretty cunning in that direction themselves.
Sometimes it's just better to find out what they've been buying and blow
it up. Occasionally you can make them react by talking about robber barons
or computer conglomerates, who make it big by selling diabolical stuff!

Michael: Way too serious, these guys. Tell them to lighten
up -- but do it from a safe distance!

Novalis: Always good targets for thing like the water-squirting
flower (though Haagenti's guys do that sort of thing better), or the sneezing
powder in their flowers... You can have all kinds of fun with them if you're
careful, though, 'cause they don't hit first.

Yves: Sometimes the only thing you can do is swap the
photocopier with the shredder -- these guys don't always *notice*
anything else!

#8: As delivered by a Servitor of
Fate (Kronos)

Choirs

Seraphim: They are subject to flashes of insight. Do
not speak with them.

Cherubim: They can often be found guarding those with
the brightest destinies. Indeed, sometimes their presence is a give-away.
Watch for them.

Ofanim: Uninteresting, though they can show up at the
most inopportune moments, via paths that you would not believe possible.

Elohim: These creatures may be able to guess your nature.
Avoid them if you can, deliver them to Trauma if you cannot.

Malakim: Violent and extreme, these are threats. They
do not Fall, normally. If you could arrange for this to change, the Prince
would be *very* pleased. If you find one with that Fated
Future, escape at once and report so that a team can be assigned to the
task.

Kyriotates: Annoying creatures -- you can never be sure
that they're not around. Do not keep pets.

Mercurians: Not so bad as Cherubim, but they can be
tiresome if you meddle in the affairs of mortals and they find out. Sometimes
they are even *more* tiresome than Cherubim that way, as
Cherubim are usually seen only with fixations.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Depressingly effective at times, causing targets
to dream of hope and destiny. Eliminate these Servitors when you come across
them.

Christopher: It is never too early to begin leading
a child on the proper path. The accursed Yves recognized it when he took
Christopher under his wing; we must acknowledge it as well. [Austin Loomis]

David: If you can cause one of their humans to break
with his group, it will annoy them. If done subtly enough, however, you
can cut the target out of the herd without arousing Stone's dull suspicions.

Dominic: His Servitors' goals and ours rarely come into
conflict, but they are persistant in their attempts to interfere when the
target is fated to suffer injustice on the way down.

Eli: These Servitors will interfere with any attempt
to turn an artistic sort to greater, more fateful things.

Gabriel: If you are careful and clever, you may shepard
a human to his fate *and* inculcate enough cruelty that
Gabriel's Servitors will finish the job, ensuring that Destiny is not achieved.
It is delicious irony.

Janus: Far too like Valefor's own Servitors. It is suspicious.
Gather data.

Jean: If you meddle in the affairs of technological
geniuses, you will run into one or more of the Servitors of Lightning. It
is nearly fated to be the case. Sometimes, however, all you have to do is
hold them away from influencing the target during crucial research. This
can be hard if you must deal with a Kyriotate of Jean, but is well worth
the effort.

Jordi: More concerned with animals, and therefore usually
unimportant.

Laurence: A generic annoyance, worth little as a guide
to the good hunting grounds and targets. Violent, but predictable.

Litheroy: These Servitors occasionally reveal a target's
Destiny. Get them to reveal it to *you*...and make sure
that the mortal himself *doesn't* find out. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Remind these Servitors of Bill Gates and laugh
-- so rich, so successful, so hated! They hate to see a businessperson become
corrupt, and will seek to interfere.

Michael: Another generic annoyance. Violent, less predictable
tactics, but found solitary more often than those of the Sword.

Novalis: They waffle, if you are good at sweet talking
them, making them believe you are seeking something light. (Take care not
to do this around Servitors of Asmodeus, of course.) If you are careful,
you may be able to seal the target's Fate while the Flowerchild is distracted.
If you cannot manage this, then strike hard and first.

Yves: From first to last, avoid direct contact with
these Servitors unless it is to kill them or their vessels. They will often
be found around the sweetest targets. For a special run down on the Choirs
within the ranks of Destiny, attend the seminar tomorrow in room 3A. It
is worth knowing more about our most bitter enemies.

#9: As delivered by a Servitor of
Factions (Malphas)

Choirs

Seraphim: While this lot can tell when we're employing
a spot of misdirection, they can't usually *do* anything
about it -- angels are so impotent sometimes!

Cherubim: These guys are tough to detach from things!
But if you can do it, sometimes they'll Trip! They take your attempts really
badly, though. If they've a mortal fixation, go there first -- quietly!

Ofanim: Don't sit still long enough to *have*
relationships.

Elohim: Don't have the emotions to have relationships,
but will do their best to untangle your work. Usually better at it than
Seraphim, the emotionless twits.

Malakim: Don't try to do anything directly with these
guys.

Kyriotates: Now, if you could make one start hating
*itself*, in, like, a split personality... And if the Kyrio
isn't careful, you can really romp after it's *left* a
host -- surprising, how many of them never call home while they're possessed!

Mercurians: Annoyances, who can sometimes figure out
what you're trying to do. Easiest to affect directly, though, 'cause they
have lots of mortal friends.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Not very important -- Beleth gets more of
that lot than us.

Christopher: Use your attunements. Polarize the playgrounds,
for starters. Just remember -- it's never too late to have an unhappy childhood!
[Austin Loomis]

David: These guys and their mutual loyalty kick get
old fast. But if you can get them squabbling amongst themselves (or their
human buddies), they'll be busy cleaning up and you can get out of the area.
They hate it when that happens.

Dominic: Hard, dangerous fun, but if you can get a triad
PO'ed at each other... Otherwise, you can usually ignore them, since they're
rather chase angels than demons. Just don't let them know you were the one
trying to instigate a Trip or Fall...

Eli: Depends on who they're serving. You'd think more
of them would be easy marks, abandoned by their Master.

Gabriel: Fanatics. Watch out for their Seraphim and
Elohim, and it's not usually worth trying to influence the angels directly.

Janus: Don't hang around long enough to really work
on.

Jean: They love their tech more than humans anyway.
Get them involved in flamewars on the Net.

Jordi: Unimportant -- who cares about a bunch of animals
anyway? (Well, *they* do, actually... more than they care
about humans. Hmmm... Maybe there's potential there for some angelic infighting.)

Laurence: Raving loons, also fanatical. Watch out for
these guys, because they are incompetant, and violence is the last refuge...

Litheroy: A bunch of busy-bodies who stick their noses
in just when you're having fun. See if you can convince them to keep a secret
or two of their own, then watch 'em swell Alaemon's ranks. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: This lot can't stand us -- they're all for "up
and up" straight dealing with other folks. Which makes them all the
more fun to yank around.

Michael: Another incompetant, but *man*
is their refuge strong... And they're a bunch of loners, too! Avoid, avoid!

Novalis: Peacenik, love love joy joy, harmony, working
together in happiness. It's enough to give your vessel diabetes at fifty
paces. *Break* all those icky-sweet bonds that they're
so fond of! Send 'em dead roses! Get them hysterical 'cause all their nice
pets (and flowers) have gone all brown and spikey, and their boss won't
be amused.

Yves: These people will show up at the most inconvenient
times to try and tweak what you've been working at. They're almost as subtle
as we are, and that means you'd better not have made any mistakes. When
you have a battle of wits with these angels, remember, they are *not*
unarmed.

#10: As delivered by a Servitor of
Nybbas (the Media)

(Some takes inspired by something zedd@io.com said...)

Choirs

Seraphim: These guys hate us for some reason. Usually
pick vessels popular with the older crowd, and people with pretentions to
class. Cast similar sorts as prissy butlers and busybodies in sitcoms.

Cherubim: They go for more combat-capable vessels. Can
be popular with the teenage crowd. Cast similar sorts as dimwitted puppies
-- devoted, but nobody you *really* want living in your
back pocket.

Ofanim: Hyperactive, short attention spans. Put similar
types in cartoons, little-kid-shows, and other places where they will not
be taken seriously. Alternatively, show hyperactivity such as theirs as
requiring medication for mental instability.

Elohim: Utterly boring. Exaggerate into pompus, long-winded,
clueless types with no life, and put them in sitcoms.

Malakim: Violent. Show this type on cop-shows -- either
as "bad cop" or as the thugs arrested.

Kyriotates: Hard to pin down. Air reruns of "the
Body Snatchers" when you think you've got one in town. You can sometimes
make something of them on shrink-shows or talk-shows, as symptoms of Multiple
Personality Disorder. Do it right, and you can get the host committed to
an institution and on psych-drugs before the Kyrio can abandon it,and then
it's got some serious distractions!

Mercurians: The hardest to get at, since they're the
most human, only goody-goody. Best bet is to stuff them into the ultra-nice
diabetes at fifty-paces type, who's also totally clueless about how the
real world works. Sometimes you can stick them in dramas or thrillers --
as the one who believes the best in everybody, and has the shortest, messiest,
life expectancy.

Servitors of...

Blandine: "All I ever do is dream my life away..."
Get the humans convinced that dreams are nothing but fog and randomness,
and they shouldn't care what goes on in their heads at night. Much better
they should concern themselves with reality, like sports, sitcoms or their
little boring lives. Then they turn to talk-shows.

Christopher: Depict similar types as sour-mouthed Puritan
oldsters. Win the hearts and minds of the next generation away by making
the villains *cooler* than the heroes. Now you know, and
knowing is half the mandatory 'edu-cational content' segment (another thing
we have these killjoys to thank for). [Austin Loomis]

David: Gang violence is always popular -- play it up!
Especially the crimes committed and the mob mentality! Hell, play up the
"cult" aspect of *anything* you can -- soon everbody'll
be worrying over their kids joining *Sunday school*!

Dominic: These guys are hard to get a handle on, since
they're usually after angels. Still, lawyer jokes are great things, and
they're prone to those... Get mortals to worry about Men In Black coming
to take them away, or abuse their authority ("bad cop" archetype
can work here) -- some of that may spill over to the angels, and then they
get too worked up to deal with Dominic's triads.

Eli: Hard to get any dirt on, but you can usually manage
to discredit artists and tighten the morals of the area so that sex becomes
a dirty word. Do it *right* and you can get Andre happy
as well, since people start equating sex with "dirty" and doing
it only for their own selfish pleasures. Failing that, turn their sort "flighty,"
though that works better with the Flowerchildren.

Gabriel: Vigilantes are usually cool archetypes -- but
impress upon the public that you wouldn't want to associate with them. After
all, who knows when they might lose their grip on reality entirely and go
on a killing spree? When a human sees a Servitor of heavenly Fire, that
human should call the cops, not cheer. This is hard to play up, though --
the other side keeps trying to come up with scripts where the vigilante
gets away with it. It's all Robin Hood's fault.

Janus: You make Valefor happy, and Janus gets happy
too. You start riding down cycle gangs and thieves, and you find out that
somebody's broken into your apartment and redecorated, and you don't know
who did it. Sometimes, you just can't win.

Jean: Mad science gone awry! Computers taking over the
world! Highly advanced aliens blow up Washington -- no, wait, that might
be too uplifting. Lots of fertile ground here for making science incomprehensible
(mystical works good here), dangerous, or useless -- or all three! If you
can't manage that, you're just not trying; there *are*
positions as a laugh-track available in Hell, you know...

Jordi: Extremist nutcases. Will do annoying things with
your stunt animals if you let them. You can usually play up the fanatics
who break into labs, smash stuff up, and let AIDS-infected animals go "into
the wilds" of somebody's vacant lot. This, amusingly enough, will also
tar the "responsible pet owner" groups as well, and they won't
have enough support to go for their spay-and-neuter-and-adopt events, so
you get over-crowding of strays, and can make fun of the old people who
keep huge collections of animals instead of going out and making friends!
It's great! (If you're really good, you can start another Black Plague...)

Laurence: Take themselves too seriously. Stick them
in the "dumb cop" category, and have the populace convinced that
if they call the cops, nothing will happen but the gangs get madder and
kill them off in nasty ways.

Litheroy: Cast similar sorts as nosey private detectives
-- the kind who'll run you in for a 20-year-old traffic ticket. That puts
a little gum on their shoe. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Real wheeler-dealers, but it's usually easy enough
to get people resenting them -- jealousy is sooooo useful! Just show another
corrupt-rich-guy, and watch these fellows chew their designer ties.

Michael: Another case for violent loners as bad cops,
over-enthusiastic vigilantes, or just random killers.

Novalis: Hey, look: druggies! Free-love, disease-spreading,
brainless Flowerchildren who are stuck in the 60's and couldn't contribute
to society if they tried! They also make nice dupes in cult-movies.

Yves: Fate, Destiny, who cares about all that mystic
rot? It's not real. Play up the "out of touch with reality, talks to
spirits" aspect, and mix in a little "psycho, could turn violent
any time" if you're really having problems with these guys. At best,
they're crystal-loving flakes. Remember, you're making them into *mystics*
here, not religious types -- use crystal power and friendly spirits, never
actual thought-provoking stuff.

Choirs

Seraphim: They tell the truth, they know the truth.
They usually have wimpy vessels. Good rite-fodder.

Cherubim: Harder to kill. Go for the fixation. That
upsets them.

Ofanim: Hard to hit.

Elohim: They know emotions. Often wimps. Good rite-fodder.

Malakim: Tough to kill. Get a Calabite.

Kyriotates: They use hosts, get mad if you kill one.
Amusing.

Mercurians: They like live humans. Ick. Usually rite-fodder,
some will fight.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Sleeping people die good.

Christopher: Good rite-fodder. They say the good die
young, right? Help Chris' boys keep that in mind. [Austin Loomis]

David: They fight. Sometimes have human buddies. Lots
of fun, if you get the drop on them.

Dominic: Come in threes. Not worth the effort.

Eli: They talk about "natural cycles." Don't
listen, just kill their vessels. They like humans to live; make them stop.

Laurence: They hate us. All noble, protecting humans,
that kind of thing.

Litheroy: They dig into secret stuff. Good rite-fodder.
Makes Alaemon happy when you whack 'em, so don't let him know. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: Unimportant, except for vending machines. But
some of those, you can make the stuff go bad...

Michael: War, death -- simple, right? They don't see
that.

Novalis: Flowers and peace and harmony. Ick. Use *lots*
of agent orange.

Yves: Weeeeeiiiiird. Will fight for some, not for others.
Can't figure them out. Don't try, just make them go away. Trauma is good
way to keep them away.

#12: As delivered by a Servitor of
Valefor (Theft)

Choirs

Seraphim: They see through your alibis like nobody's
business. Don't let the Balseraph explain to *these* guys,
or you'll get a hurting Bal.

Cherubim: Watch out for these guys if they're attuned
to what you've got in your pocketses. Otherwise, just steer clear of their
infatuation, and you're home free -- they won't follow you far.

Ofanim: Speedy dudes. You could almost like them, except
so many of them are so nice-nice; they'd be great for getaway cars. As it
is, they're always on the *wrong* side of the car-chase
-- the one that's not yours.

Elohim: They don't get ruffled, and they unruffle other
people after you've done a perfectly good B&E. "It's only property,"
they can say, and get humans agreeing. They're a bunch of spoilsports!

Malakim: These guys play bad cop/worse cop, and they
keep getting their signals crossed about who's supposed to be the *worse*
cop. They're a perfect reason for the motto: "Don't Get Caught."

Kyriotates: Ever get the feeling you're being watched?
The critter patrol's only redeeming feature is that you can hold it hostage
against itself, for a few moments. Don't let animals hang around watching
you pick the locks.

Mercurians: Snappy dressers, but don't get them too
riled. Even if they are cute when they're angry.

David: Perfectly happy to start a gang-war against you
when you breeze into town. This can be refreshing, but gets old quick. At
least the Stonies can't hit you first, so you get a chance to escape with
the goods.

Dominic: Not usualy very interesting, but if you can
steal away an Outcast from them, they get the *coolest*
expressions!

Eli: Steal all you want, they'll make more! Cute lot,
too: sometimes it's worth pretending you're Windys, see if you can steal
any hearts! Gotta watch it, though -- it's safer to play games with Flowerchildren.

Gabriel: These people have some idea that you're in
it to get your kicks from making humans upset... Well, okay, that too --
but the adrenalin charge is pretty good too! Still, watch out for the gal's
Seraphim and Ofanim -- especially those bounty-hunting Ofanim! -- since
they just don't give up!

Janus: Like "Wind" is any competion to *Theft*.
Okay, they're hard to hold onto, and they've got some interesting abilities...
That doesn't mean that we're not Numero Uno around here! Still, keep your
secret handshake and decoder ring -- sometimes, well, it's a little hard
to tell, and it's always nasty to get into an unexpected rumble. They'll
be happy to chase you, too.

Jean: Hey, you'd think he'd be *happy*
about the big V taking that Tesla dude's cancer-cure away! But nooooooo...
Watch out for gizmos when these guys are around.

Jordi: Just don't steal any pets -- you might get a
nasty surprise.

Laurence: Oh, man, sometimes it's just *too*
easy. These are the people who will help little old ladies across the street
and only figure it out afterwards that you just picked their pockets.

Litheroy: Astoundingly good at finding you out and taking
the swag back where you got it. Spoilsports. Get Al's people to help you
out if you can -- they'll be glad of the rite-fodder. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: These folks are funny -- they can't stand us wandering
off with stuff without paying for it. *Especially* not
*their* stuff. C'mon, isn't it undignified for celestials
to be so attached to corporeal things? You gotta point this out to them,
right?

Michael: Another group with no sense of humor -- and
if you can't get the weapons (or ammo) away from them while their backs
are turned, weeelllll, maybe it's time to move on.

Novalis: Peace, love, joy! It's so fun to go around
disturbing the peace! They don't usually have that much to steal, but at
least they don't do more than call the cops on ya. Some of them are even
cute.

Yves: His guys don't like Kronos, which makes 'em pretty
decent -- for angels. Just don't remind them that the Big V got something
from their boss's library

#13: As delivered by a Servitor of
Vapula (Technology)

[Possibly a Habbalite...]

Choirs

Seraphim: These angels are most inconvenient when you
are attempting to sell something to someone. In short, they are akin to
Dilbertian Engineers, who cannot keep their mouths shut about minor little
things such as side-effects.

Cherubim: This Choir is rarely much of a problem, save
in the "muscle" department -- they make decent thugs, if often
a bit fixated, but thugs can be dealt with.

Ofanim: Dangerously flighty and probably as prone to
breaking equipment as Calabim -- they are certainly responsible for wear
and tear on vehicles. A pity they do not cause more accidents...

Elohim: They try to stave off the human demoralization
inherent in a progressive technological society. It is really quite fascinating,
but sometimes they actually make some kind of difference. It is a pity they
do not understand their true calling.

Malakim: They are violent, destructive creatures, second
only to Calabim for mass destruction. Keep them away from breakables, such
as your equipment, and your vessel.

Kyriotates: It is a sad thing when you must be wary
of every lab animal around, but sometimes you must. They may also turn up
as night watchmen or lab assistants. Be careful of anyone acting out of
the ordinary.

Mercurians: Their resonance is for people, not technology.
Nevertheless, they can sometimes outwit even Marketing.

Servitors of...

Blandine: One must simply persuade humans that what
*you* have to sell -- waking dreams -- is better than what
these Servitors are giving away. Even if there are one or two bugs in the
item, at least it's something mortals can touch.

Christopher: This pressure group often uselessly bemoans
the passing of older, less engineered forms of entertainment. [Austin Loomis]

David: You would think these Servitors would be more
grateful for the things we have given humanity -- our weapons are most effective.
A shame they cannot understand this, or appreciate the guns we devise.

Dominic: Usually not concerned with our business, and
we need not concern ourselves with theirs. If our paths do not cross, there
is no reason to seek them out.

Eli: That the makers of artifacts -- the Elohim and
Mercurians of Creation -- are allowed to run around loose proves the inherent
weakness of this group. It also affords opportunities to make them even
more scarce, by placing them in Trauma.

Gabriel: Fanatical and persistant, with a decidedly
un-enlightened approach to the world. They really should join the 20th century,
rather than running around attempting to slaughter those of us who only
want to...help.

Janus: Highly annoying types. They will attempt to steal
your artifacts for no other reason than because it amuses them.

Jean: Our chief adversary. Fortunately, hide-bound and
unimaginative, seemingly unaware that Technology *wants*
to be free and reproduce! If you want something to get loose, you can always
release it on the Net; but be quick and cunning, for the Kyrios of Lightning
make efficient cancel'bots.

Jordi: "Back to nature" sorts, and another
reason to keep a wary eye (and accurate count) on your laboratory animals.

Laurence: Only worth mentioning for their disturbing
tendency to hunt down those they call demons, for no particularly good reason.

Litheroy: Often useful for getting our devices out to
the masses, but they can't be automatically relied on. [Austin Loomis]

Marc: They have the nerve to say that we're not making
fair deals with humans, just because we neglect to give bug reports! Really,
now, if the invention works, what does the human have to complain about?

Michael: Another unreasonable group with too much time
on their violent hands.

Novalis: Slightly less fanatical than Jordi's lot, these
are still "Green" angels, and have no understanding about the
features ofTechnology. They simply cannot be spoken to in any sort of reasonable
way, and must usually be dealt with via the application of sufficient force.

Yves: Surprisingly, these angels will sometimes seek
to interfere in your activities. It can be most disquieting, as they are
relatively subtle in their meddling. However, similar tactics as those that
work on the Servitors of Lightning -- quickness and cunning -- have been
known to be effective against the angels of Destiny.

#14: As delivered by a Daughter of
Lilith

"It's like this, you see -- our Mother doesn't really tell us *that*
much, but you pick things up. Remember, you're not just any old demon. You're
a *Lilim*, and you can see things in ways the others can't
imagine. Now, pay attention, 'cause if I have to repeat this, you're gonna
owe me. First time's practically a freebie, 'cause we're sisters.

Okay, the first thing to remember is that everything depends on who you're
working for. If you've gone and bound yourself to a Prince, then they'll
react like they do for that Prince -- but you'll have gotten the 'Know the
Enemy' talk from your buddies there anyway, so I won't go into that. But
us, the Free Daughters -- and don't you TANSTAAFL [*]
at me, kid! -- sometimes get different reactions.

Second thing to remember is that if you're not careful, and start *dealing*
with angels, you'll get Azzie's hounds of hell after you, wanting to know
why you're not trying to kill angels. If you're getting too buddy-buddy
with one, then yeah, you're in trouble. Mind you, Azzie's lot are more likely
to slam you into Trauma first and apologize to our Mother afterwards. So
Don't Get Caught."

[* "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free
Lunch" -- Lilim motto.
"There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lilim" -- mocking perversion
of Lilim motto]

Choirs

Seraphim: They are usually tall and proud, and if you're
lucky enough to look one in the eyes and find a Need to fulfill, you'll
have to be totally up-front about what level of Geas it's going to cost
them. If you don't want to tell them the truth about something, just *look*
at them -- they can pick things out of the Symphony if you talk, but not
if you just smile. And it really weirds them out when you do either one,
but especially if you tell the truth, 'cause they don't expect demons to
be truthful about *anything*. They're also kinda dangerous
to deal-make around, 'cause they might pick out that our "little return
favors" are gonna come backed by a nice Geas. Watch out for them.

Cherubim: Their greatest Need is to protect the object
of their attunement. You'll have to read it in their eyes to lay a proper
Geas, of course, but it's going to be there if they're fixated on anything.
This also makes them awfully paranoid about "our sort" -- either
that we're just some scuzzy demon out to hurt their fixation, or that we'll
actually be able to lay a Geas on their fixation or themselves.

Ofanim: It is *hard* to make eye contact
with these guys! They're always hyped! You practically have to hit them
over the head with something. It's kind of weird, though -- they've gotta
be free to move around, even more than we do.

Elohim: These are harder targets than the Seraphim,
since they rarely have *Needs* that they can't put away
if you try to give them what you saw they wanted. They're *slippery*!
And they can be dangerous like the Seraphim to make deals around, 'cause
they know what people feel. At best, they tend to think you're some kind
of streetwalker. But they're the most likely Choir to just *talk*
to you, if you're not busy and they're not busy. It's got something to do
with them being objective and wanting to understand motivations. Spooky,
but sometimes worthwhile to humor them -- how do you think we Lilim find
out about angels, anyway, sis? Besides working with them sometimes, when
our Mother trades a Geas bright-side, of course.

Malakim: Dangerous, very dangerous. Especially if you've
ever stuck by a Geas that you didn't much like doing -- either they catch
you for sticking with something nasty, like working with a Shedite 'cause
you had to (utterly "dishonor"), or they catch you for doing your
job even though you didn't like it (you'd think that was honorable!), and
they *know what your job was*. Backpedal *fast*,
don't hit first -- sometimes they can't start fights, or escalate them beyond
what you try -- and try to get a resonance on them. If you're lucky, you'll
pick up their Need to kill a demon -- that'll be you -- and you can tell
them that if you hold still and let yourself be killed, they'll owe you
one. This may slow them down long enough for you to scram.

Kyriotates: These things are nearly as bad as Shedim.
Their Needs aren't so gross -- *nothing* has Needs as disgusting
as a Shedite! -- but they go walking around in other people's bodies. Now,
I ask you, is that any way for *angels* to behave, after
they get all holier than thou about enslaving other people with Geasa and
such? I don't *think* so! So it only makes sense that they
get *really* disgusting when they Fall. You can sometimes
spot them, though, since the real person is walkies in the Marches and the
Needs you'll pick up will be the Kyrio's. Just remember: they generally
have the highest resistance to Geasa of all the angels; it's like trying
to slap a Geas on a Balseraph or something! Usually better not to try, so
you don't get backlash.

Mercurians: The hardest to spot via their Needs, since
they're so like humans. They're kind of fun at parties, though! But don't
forget -- you're not human, so if they get annoyed they *can*
slap *you* around.

Children of the Grigori: Okay, angels won't talk to
these guys, and they avoid demons. But sometimes one of us will meet one
for a little bit. We're born of a Princess, so we give them the creeps eventually,
but they are around. And sometimes, what they Need to know is why they're
so weird. If you can get one to believe you, go for it. But be *really*
careful calling in the Geas later -- they're likely to have willpower, and
you don't want the backlash. You might do better to just ask nicely and
not even try to put in the Geas.

Servitors of...

Blandine: We don't meet these people much, unless we're
doing a Favor for Beleth. They generally don't give a damn unless you're
going against one of their pet dreamers.

Christopher: Kids can be easy to get the big ones on
-- they have such troule doing *anything* -- or they can
be really trivial, if all they want is a hug or something. You can make
a pretty good living with the pony, puppy and kitten vessels, though. Of
course, the Elohim of Children are racing you for the brats' every Need,
and the rest are running interference for 'em. *sigh*

David: They're not allowed to start fights -- but their
skinhead buddies will. If you're unlucky enough to encounter one of the
Stonies, hope that he's alone and *do not hit first*. Run,
baby, run. They'll try to corner you and make you fight or eat the dissonance,
so watch out.

Dominic: This lot go after their own renegades -- Outcasts,
they call them. But if they catch you, they might try to interrogate you
if you've had any dealings at all with angels. Grab their Needs if you can,
and remember that they like to work in trios with a Seraph and Cherub, and
the Cherub can act even worse than a Djinn if they decide you're guilty
of something -- track you around *and* hurt you!

Eli: The Servitors of Creation are weird cases -- they're
found serving all kinds of people, so it's hard to make a generalization
about them. Except that they're really fun at parties. Don't get attached
to one, though -- they're still angels, and they don't understand when a
Geas gets called in, you *have* to answer it. Sometimes
you kinda feel sorry for them a little, though -- their boss went AWOL on
them, and they're angels, not Lilim. They don't know how to deal without
their boss giving them orders.

Gabriel: This is one loonie lot -- you get on their
bad side somehow, and they will *never* quit chasing you.
Best you can hope for is to get the hell out of Dodge -- or wherever they
found you.

Janus: If you're not careful, you might think these
guys are Valefor's lot. They act a lot alike. But don't tell them that,
'cause they'll get mad! Keep your eyes open, your head down, and don't reveal
your nature if you can help it. Even your resonance won't help you here,
not with Valefor's thieves running around.

Jean: These guys have some seriously cool attunements
-- don't go after them with anything more complex than a club! And watch
out for their Kyrios getting into a computer. And the weird thing is, some
of them won't get really upset about Free Daughters. I think it's 'cause
they've got an Elohite for a boss, and Elohim are so laid back.

Jordi: If you don't kick dogs or pull cats' tails, Jordi
probably won't much care. It's better not to keep any pets, though -- between
Jordi's lot and Kyriotates, it's just not safe.

Laurence: No sense of humor or fun in these guys. Vamoose
yourself. If you get stuck, treat as Malakim -- there's a chance that you
can even bluff one about how strong his Need is to kill you.

Litheroy:'Information wants to be free,' right? These
guys have the right idea, but sometimes they go too far with it, telling
other people that our bargains are more than just mundane promises -- they're
all as nutty as Seraphim that way, only worse. [Austin Loomis, with modifications... --arcangel@prismnet.com]

Marc: These people are nearly Lilim themselves! And
they're really good at deal-making. I mean *really* good
-- you think you're hot stuff, fooling a mortal. You're young, kid. These
guys, they're mostly *experienced*, and their Archangel
gives them attunements to help. Unfair advantage, really. Watch what you
sign with one, and read all the fine print.

Michael: More people with no sense of humor. Sometimes
the Malakim treatment will work, but sometimes it won't, especially if you're
just bluffing.

Novalis: Real sweeties. Don't hit first, and you might
be able to talk to these people for a little while. Careful, though -- they'll
want you to go Renegade for them, and Azzi'll land on your case so hard...

Yves: These people are too strange for words. First
of all, some of them have the *uncanny* ability to spot
you -- probably some funky attunement. And after they've done *that*,
they may start looking at you funny. Be really careful talking to them --
they can make the craziest notions make sense, and *then*
where are you when the Servitors of the Game come calling? But they get
vicious and mean if you're messing with one of their pet humans; they do
*not* want you laying a Geas on somebody they know, and
they just don't buy the offer to swap and take the Geas on *them*
instead.

#[You are not cleared for this information]: As delivered
by a Servitor of Alaemon (Secrets)

Remeber the truth wants to stay hidden. Trust nothing, even this
document.

Choirs

Seraphim: Totally mad; they don't understand that the
control of knowledge is power. Keep away from them; they make your Rites
harder and totaly louse up the Barons of the Vault. Kill if you can otherwise
keep clear.

Cherubim: Make very very sure they don't get attached
to any thing you want to keep secret. They are far too good at finding things
you want to hide.

Ofanim: Don't stay around long enough to find out anything
worth knowing. So no worries there.

Elohim: They have secret emotions, we want to know about
secrets. Blackmail is Fun.

Malakim: Tough to kill. Play head games on them -- they
do not understand subtlety or deception -- and make sure they cannot track
you down afterwards.

Kyriotates: They are a secret to their friends; trust
nothing, not even your favourite photocopier, when they are around.

Mercurians: They know what is important to people. Persuade
them to tell by some means that they do not notice.

Servitors of...

Blandine: People reveal their secrets in dreams.

Christopher: There's nothing in the corporeal realm
that gives one quite the same feeling of accomplishment as the look in the
eyes of a child with something to hide. [Austin
Loomis]

David: Boring [Both ways] too little subtlety to have
secrets.

Dominic: A pain, but if you can find out what his minions
do not want their boss to know....

Eli: There is a promotion to Duke of Mystery in it if
you can find out why he is doing what he is doing.

Gabriel: The Flame has few secrets but it exposes the
dark crannies we like and Gabriel really does not like betrayers.

Janus: They can get into your most secure vaults, tell
if you spy on them and are to be avoided if possible. If not, lock them
up very, very securely in a confinded space and watch them kill themselves.

Jean: They Know the Truth. They have lots of secrets
that have practical uses. Tempest shield your home to keep their Ofanim
out . . .

Jordi: Beware of squirrels and mice that act funny.
They may be spying on you.

Laurence: Serious, staid, upright. The only thing to
do is to find out where they do not live up to their ideals and tell their
boss. Watch what happens as a practical experiment in power.

Litheroy: Rite Fodder, but they will know your power
if they escape. Plus the boss has a downer on them. Kill, maim, exterminate,
confuse.

Marc: Trade secrets and possibly the secret master of
Heaven. And they are easy to do deals with. Enjoy.

Michael: Do they have a single secret? No, they are
just pyschotic Killers whose only secrets are a few dirty fighting manuvears.

Novalis: How did she get to be a major Archangel? Plenty
of food for thought. But do not talk to your pot plants. Their leaves have
ears.

Yves: They know almost everything. Avoid like you have
never avoided before.

Winston Churchill : We must wrap the truth around with a bodyguard
of lies.

#15: As delivered by a surviving Soldier of Hell

Remember: your worst enemy is the demon you work for. If you fail he'll
kill you, and if you get too powerful he'll try to kill you. Be ready to
do unto him first.

Your best advantage is the angels and demons can't hear you kill people
like they can when they do it.

Choirs

Seraphim: Know everything, can't lie. No fun.

Cherubim: Heaven's Bodyguards; take them out before
attacking whatever-it-is that they are guarding.

Ofanim: Move too fast to catch, so use landmines.

Elohim: Vulcans

Malakim: Run Like Hell. These are the old testement
avenging angels. Though they have given up on burning chariots in exchange
for Helicopter Gunships and Motorbikes.

Kyriotates: Anyone or any animal could be one of these.
I know it's superfluous but Trust No One..

Mercurians: The people Angels. Gun them down when they
leave their favourite night club.

Servitors of...

Blandine: Not our problem.

Christopher: [Austin Loomis]

David: Half the world's skinheads work for us, half
for him. The dificulty is working out which. Don't trust people who don't
like guns.

Dominic: Guns down angels for us. All you have to do
is arrange for them to do collateral casulties.

Eli: A Drunken Sot. His angels are a pain, They allways
have a trick up their sleaves. Like killing a squad of troops with a packet
of playing cards. Anything is a weapon for these guys.
